End forming of tubes generally refer to making of simple or complex shapes such as expansions, reductions, flares, flanges, tapers, and beads made at the end of the tube by single or multiple metal forming operations. These ...

This dissertation deals with the active control of flexural vibration of annular plates through the design of two new piezoelectric fiber composite (PFC) actuators in the cylindrical coordinates. The first one is an extension ...

Recent instabilities in the world energy market due to depletion of fossil fuel source, global worming threat and increasing price of fossil derivatives necessitate the need of harnessing the clean and renewable sources of energy.

Present thesis work primarily focuses on the analysis of flow instabilities in one of the most powerful concepts under Gen.-IV nuclear reactor technology, namely the supercritical water-cooled reactor (SCWR). Safety is the ...
